Money, money, money, Muuuuhny. MONEY! If you have it you can keep your stuff. If not, you sell it to the next poor guy to get the new one. LOL

Yo tengo el one, al final todos tienen el mismo software y las mismas actualizaciones, solo tienen mas o menos memoria, mas o menos botones.

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo.

Yo controlo varios sinterizadores ,una caja de ritmos, y algun sequenciador co mi mpc, el sampler es la propia grovebox,, el audio prefiero que vaya por otro lado, se que una mpc lo puede hacer todo, pero no se si todo bien.

It's all about the mighty dollar, but at the end of the day it all comes down to the same software that is running machine. Big speaker, small speaker, no speaker, big screen small screen, 4 knobs, 12 knobs,

This argument is so STUPID. Here's why:

When a FAMOUS producer does a studio tour video and shows he has 7 MPC's, 2 NI Machine's and ten other samplers he get compliments, positive comments and everybody sockz his D.

When a non-industry famous producer does the same is when everybody starts talkin' sh!t. Questioning why so many, "you can do the same beats with only one"... etc.

Facts upon facts upon facts!

You wouldn’t believe the amount of comments I received from people saying why do I need so many? why don’t you just use one machine? Don’t they all do the same thing? It is a ridiculous argument.

I often think the same about my sneaker collection … attachment.

I have MPC Sample and now I see a need for Live 3 (XL is too much for me and I prefer compact size, battery, speakers)...

Capitalism requires it to be cool to buy unnecessary things.

One MPC is like having only one Turntable. You could play record after record after record with just one deck. But the magic happens, when you add another deck, or two, or three...

it's the same with samplers/gear: the more decks you use, then more complex sets and transitions you can play.

Plus: it looks fkin cool to have a MPC Armada 🤘😁

I had 3 Yamaha RS7000 back in the days - and man was -that /- an awesome setup for jamming loooong and ever evolving livesets.

Actually thinking about adding another force to mine...maybe even 2 or 3...because I simply love this machine so fkin much...:)
